I've been trading full time for a few years now, and sporadically since 1990. I always had visions of recognizing some huge move and actually riding it, making tons of money in the process. While I have been relatively successful, it had never happened to me. Even if I was right on direction, positions were not large enough, or I failed to take full advantage of the moves by getting out too soon, or developing cold feet or something else. Until now.
For all practical purposes I rode this entire Yen rally from beginning. Most of that was in a string of short trades across all JPY crosses. I thought all the time we were going to retest the levels from late February/ early March, but I had no idea the move will be a line straight down and so fast. Last Sunday I decided to put my money on GBP-JPY and AUD-JPY and just sit on them. Price action was such, that I didn't see any recognizable sell signals (at least not the kind I look for). I simply went short at the open last Sunday.
